Chapter 141: Aren't You Still a Young Man?
Probably Uncle Gao Qun is used to filming documentaries, but also because the crew does not have much money, it is impossible to rent a studio, and then spend a lot of money to set up a set and shoot in a closed area.
Therefore, basically all of "Conquest" is filmed in real time, and the streets, taxis, hotels, restaurants, and rental houses are the most filmed places in the play.
Early in the morning, the restaurant downstairs of the hotel where the crew stayed began to get busy, and this kind of restaurant and restaurant drama is generally arranged early in the morning or in the middle of the night, so as not to affect the business of the hotel.
Today's situation is quite special, because He Xin's plane at 11 o'clock in the morning is going to Hong Kong to attend the award ceremony of the Academy Awards. The schedule is too tight, in Lao Gao's words, it is to shoot as many as possible if you can.
So today is exceptionally early, and the crew has already begun to make preparations before filming.
The corridor is not wide and full of people, cameras, recordings, lighting, field workers, etc. are crowded in every corner, and He Xin is saying hello while scattering cigarettes to everyone.
"Brothers, I'm sorry! Everyone has worked hard, and when I come back, I will definitely invite everyone to supper!"
"Brother Qiang, you will see the outside when you say this, but we will wait for supper!"
"Haha, that's right! Brother Qiang, I'll get another actor back this time!"
"Yo, borrow everyone's auspicious words!"
He Xin usually doesn't have any shelves, in fact, he doesn't put any stinky shelves, he has been born in hardship for two lives, and many times he prefers to mix with all kinds of assistants and field workers, drink a bottle of beer, eat a supper or something, and feel very relaxed.
Talking and laughing all the way, I walked into a private room.
The private room is very spacious, photographer Liu Yizhi and his two little apprentices are adjusting the camera position, Bai Hongbiao and Chen Bin, who arrived first, and the two actors who play Song Laohu and his brother are sitting at the big round table and chatting.
"Brother Xiao Ming, hard work!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's Gao Dao who gave me the opportunity. Brother Xiao Ming stood up and said with a smile.
Of course, this Xiao Ming Brother is not the "troublesome" Xiao Ming Brother in later generations, he is an authentic Beijing man, and he is a thief with a Beijing film! It is said that the ancestor is a flag man, and he has also mixed in society when he was young. When Lao Gao first arrived in the capital, he rented his family's house, and later made a cameo in Lao Gao's "Thirteen Murders".
Because he was not a professional actor, Lao Gao didn't want to use him at first, but unfortunately, an actor from a local repertory troupe who had his original fancy accidentally broke his arm while riding a bicycle, and Lao Gao had to temporarily summon him to help.
Brother Xiao Ming is the oldest actor in the group, and at first He Xin wanted to call him uncle, but Xiao Ming's goths are bright, and everyone is a brother when they are filming together, and they are called Uncle Hanqi.
Brother Xiao Ming played an old gangster named Song Yunlai, nicknamed "Song Laohu", and finally died under the guns of Liu Huaqiang's two killers.
Before the start of filming, the lines of this scene were mainly unfolded before Liu Huaqiang and Song Laohu.
"Let me tell you a word, it is the dragon that has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down! Who am I, Liu Huaqiang, I don't need to say myself...... Brother Song, you invited me to come to give me face, I can come to give you enough face, please pass on a word, Zhao Xiangsheng's matter, you let him come to me by himself. β
"Bang!"
Brother Xiao Ming slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Young man, don't be too arrogant!"
"It's not arrogant, it's still called a young man!"
He Xin followed the lines in the script, but as soon as he said it, he couldn't help frowning, waved his hand at Brother Xiao Ming, and turned back to Uncle Gao Qun and said, "Director, it doesn't feel right to put this sentence here!"
Liu Huaqiang has a lot of golden sentences in "Conquest", such as the previous "Is this melon ripe?", and this sentence "If you are not angry, you are still called a young man?"
This line should be the most critical line in the whole scene, and He Xin feels average when placed here.
Uncle Gao Qun looked at the script and pondered for a while, then asked, "Then what do you mean?"
He Xin groaned: "I think that if it is put to the end, Brother Xiao Ming will suffer a loss, and he angrily shouts at the young man not to be too arrogant, and I will reply that he is not angry and call the young man? β
Lao Gao was a little unsure, but it happened that screenwriter Chen Yuxin was not here today, so he thought about it and said, "Then give it a try and see the effect." β
He Xin and Brother Xiao Ming came over again, and the effect of trying it was naturally obvious, putting these two sentences of dialogue between the two at the end, it really brought out Liu Huaqiang's arrogance and domineering.
Lao Gao was very satisfied when he heard it.
At this time, the lighting and photography were ready, and the chef of the restaurant, who came to work in advance, temporarily fried a few dishes as props and put them on the table.
Filming officially began.
βActionοΌβ
I saw He Xin with his head protruding and his two subordinates, Bai Hongbiao and Chen Bin walked in from outside the private room, Brother Xiao Ming sat on the main seat with a golden sword, and Wang Ning, who played his brother Song Zhentao, sat next to him.
Seeing them come in, Wang Ning snorted, raised his head at a 45-degree angle, and looked like there was no one in his eyes. Brother Xiao Ming greeted with a smile on his face: "Qiangzi, I just came, I've been waiting for you for a long time." β
He Xin smiled, like a party: "Introduction, two brothers, Yueping and the sea." β
He introduced the two brothers who came after him.
No matter how well Liu Huaqiang mixes now, for an old rascal like Song Laohu, it is necessary to maintain politeness on the surface.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, Chen Bin handed over the gift he was carrying, and Brother Xiao Ming responded politely.
Facing Xiao Mingge's circle of clouds and mountain fog covers.
He Xin said with sincerity and straightforwardness: "Brother Song must have come to me not only to drink and eat, there must be something." Hua Qiang must do what he can do, and if he can't do it, please also ask Brother Song to understand Hua Qiang's difficulties. β
Brother Xiao Ming fakely praised: "Qiangzi, be happy, I like your temper." β
Then he said: "Let's make it clear, Xiangzi is looking for me." Xiangzi is my brother, and he earns some money in business, but these brothers under my command also have to rely on him to feed, for the sake of my face, in the future, don't look for him. β
The key place is here, in the plot, Liu Huaqiang asked Xiangsheng for money, Xiangsheng found Song Laohu, Song Laohu came out to pick things out on the wine table, and he hadn't turned his face at this time, although Liu Huaqiang was a little unhappy, he was restrained at first, but as the two of them didn't speculate, the unruly momentum began to slowly appear.
"Hehehe!"
He Xin suddenly laughed, narrowed his eyes, and lit at Brother Xiao Ming with his hand holding the cigarette.
"Brother Song!"
Suddenly, he said these three words in a deep voice, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace when these three words appeared, like a thunderbolt that had just flashed halfway before being snuffed out by a big hand.
"Brother Song has Brother Song's brother, Hua Qiang has Hua Qiang's friend, I asked him to borrow money from Xiangsheng, but I didn't want to pay it back, I didn't expect him to find you, Brother Song......"
Speaking of this, He Xin deliberately smacked his lips, as if he was tasting the taste of this matter: "It's not that I don't give face to Brother Song, my eldest brother also has a head and face on the road, and there are many people who respect you......"
At this time, Wang Ning, who had been sitting next to him with an arrogant face, a nose that was not a nose, and a face that was not a face, interrupted He Xin's words, and this thing looked like a fox and a fake tiger, and knocked on the table with his hand and shouted: "Hey, hey, don't be embarrassed! What are you? When my brother was mixed on the road, you still wore open crotch pants." β
A smile appeared on He Xin's face again, but he didn't even glance at Wang Ning, he stretched out his hand to put the cigarette butt on the ground, and looked at Brother Xiao Ming with a mocking face.
Song Laohu, as an old-timer, invited him to dinner, and others came, and brought gifts, this face was enough, as for Song Laohu's younger brother, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
The Lord humiliates the ministers!
Seeing this, his two younger brothers, Bai Hongbiao and Chen Bin, slowly stood up and stared at Wang Ning with their eyes.
In the original version, this picture is that King Yan stopped his two younger brothers. But He Xin didn't do this, he just raised his hand and waved, motioning for the two to sit down, this is the style of the exclusive big brother.
At this time, he stood up, the chairs behind him were squeezed out, he leaned forward, his whole body probed in front of Song Laohu, and came face to face with Wang Ning.
His face was expressionless, and he said like a ghost: "To tell you a word, it is the dragon that has to be coiled, and the tiger that has to lie down." I don't need to say who I am Liu Huaqiang. β
Since the skin is torn, there is nothing to say.
Just as Brother Xiao Ming was still stunned, he had already raised his body, tidied up the clothes on his body, turned his face and said to Brother Xiao Ming: "Brother Song, you invited me to come to give me face, I can come to give you enough face, please pass on a word, Zhao Xiangsheng's matter, you let him come to me by himself." β
From the beginning of the foreshadowing, and then little by little, at this moment Liu Huaqiang's domineering finally exploded.
Just as he turned around with his two subordinates to walk out of the private room, he was startled just now, and Wang Ning, who had just reacted, felt that he had lost face just now, so he stood up suddenly, and rushed towards He Xin with a dry mouth.
There is no need for him to make a move at all, Bai Hongbiao and Chen Bin have already moved, the two of them took out daggers almost at the same time, and the division of labor is clear, Bai Hongbiao stabbed Wang Ning in the thigh with a knife, and he didn't forget to show a weird smile in front of the camera, and the effect was good, and it would really grab the camera.
And just as Wang Ning was howling and performing in great pain, Chen Bin had already rushed to Xiao Ming's side and pressed a dagger against his neck.
He Xin also acted at this time, and just left, he always felt that something was missing. Immediately, he played improvly, grabbed the hair of Wang Ning, who was still screaming there, pressed him on the table, and yelled at Brother Xiao Ming, who was pretending to be calm and about to say his lines: "How many younger brothers do you have? Tell me, how many younger brothers do you have?"
Huh! Obviously, He Xin is out of the circle. However, Uncle Gao Qun, who was sitting in front of the monitor, not only did not shout to stop, but his eyes lit up.
At this time, Brother Xiao Ming, who was playing opposite him, subconsciously moved his lips and was about to speak. As soon as he looked up, he saw He Xin's gloomy and vicious gaze piercing his heart like a sharp sword, uh, he actually lost his voice for a while.
Seeing this, He Xin hurriedly threatened and shouted again: "No, you don't need to say it, no matter how many younger brothers you have, it's best not to mess with me, if you provoke me, kill one !! a day"
This roar shocked everyone, that momentum, Mount Tai overwhelmed!
Although Brother Xiao Ming is an extra, he also knows at this moment that he was led astray by the other party and made a mistake, and He Xin is helping him make up for it at this time.
He didn't care about the few cruel words written in the script, so he quickly took a deep breath and shouted inwardly: "Young people, don't be too arrogant!"
"Oh, it's not arrogant and it's still called a young man!"
Then, turn around and walk away, extremely chic!
"Good!"
Uncle Gao Qun couldn't help shouting, this scene is so good, it's just done in one go.
It was rare to shout again: "It's over!"
Brother Xiao Ming felt that he seemed to have made a mistake just now, and hurriedly said, "Gao Dao, protect one?"
Lao Gao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's good!"
It was almost nine o'clock after filming this scene, and He Xin hurriedly said hello to Lao Gao: "Director, I'll leave first if it's okay?"
Lao Gao raised his wrist to look at the time, and said busily: "Then you hurry up, be careful not to miss the plane." β
came, and added: "I wish you a victorious start and success!"
Tang Wei on the side also held his small fist in front of his chest, and said with a smile: "New brother, you must win the actor!"
He Xin smiled and waved goodbye to them.
Speaking of which, he rushed over today and will be back tomorrow, so the luggage was very simple, and he carried a backpack.
Before going out, he called Sister Hong again.
Chang Jihong had already passed two days earlier, and the borrowed dresses and other things were also brought with her.
This year's Academy Awards is different from the past, the organizing committee has widely spread the hero post this time, and invited dozens of large and small stars, including Japan, South Korea, Wanwan and the mainland, as award and performance guests.
Among them, there are the most mainland compatriots, Zhao Wei, Qin Hailu, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Fan and his wife, Yang Liping and the famous rock man Wang Banbi.
As a result, the media in the mainland also moved when they heard the news, and the major media in Beijing, Shenghai, and Guangzhou sent reporters one after another. Yesterday, he also received a call from Yuan Lei, saying that he wanted to make an appointment with him for an interview, but unfortunately he couldn't squeeze out time this time, so he could only politely refuse.
